Best Idaho visual artist

Tyler Bowling

Readers' Picks

Charles Forest

With the number of stellar artists living and working in the
Treasure Valley, choosing one had to be hard for readers. That would
explain why there are so few votes among the top three places. A piece
by Bowling, titled Nighthawk, was recently featured on the cover
of Boise Weekly. His piece, along with the others that have
graced BW during this last year, hangs in our swank offices,
which means we've been living with his art for a while. We'll be sad to
see it go up for bid at our annual Boise Weekly Cover Auction in
November, even though we know the money goes to a good cause (a local
arts grant). If you attend the auction, you'll see a couple of us
BW Staffers trying to outbid one another for Bowling's work.
